8-Point Filling: An Effective Method That Defines Facial Lines
Our face may experience sagging and volume loss over time due to aging, genetic factors and environmental effects. These changes become more apparent as the skin loses its elasticity. 8-point filling is a minimally invasive treatment method applied to reshape and rejuvenate facial lines. With this method, a natural and youthful appearance can be achieved without the need for surgical intervention.
What is 8-Point Filling?
8-point filling takes its name from the filler injections made to 8 different points of the face. This method is used to define facial lines, eliminate volume loss and reduce wrinkles on the skin. It provides effective results especially in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, under the eyes and around the lips. 8-point filling restores the natural lines of the face by correcting volume loss.
How is 8-Point Filling Performed?
Before the procedure, the areas to be treated are numbed with local anesthetic cream. Then, the filler is injected under the skin with thin needles. These points are applied at specific points, at the right depth and in the right amount to improve the symmetry and aesthetics of the face. The filler used during the injection usually contains hyaluronic acid. This substance is compatible with the skin and provides a natural filler.
Who Can Have 8-Point Filling?
8-point filler is especially suitable for people with volume loss, wrinkles and sagging on the face. After the mid-30s, such problems may begin to increase and these problems can be effectively treated with 8-point filler. In addition, people who do not want surgical intervention but want to highlight their facial features can also prefer this method.
Benefits of 8-Point Filling
Natural and Young Appearance: 8-point filler does not disrupt the natural structure of the skin, on the contrary, it provides a rejuvenating effect. Facial features become clear and the person achieves a natural youth.
Minimally Invasive: It is much less risky than other surgical methods and the recovery process is quite fast. You can return to your social life immediately after the procedure.
Long-Term Results: The results obtained after the injection are effective for several months and you can achieve permanent results.
Providing Balance on the Face: Especially in facial features that disrupt symmetry, balance can be achieved with 8-point filler. Adjustments can be made to the chin, cheeks and under-eye areas.
Post-Procedure Process
After the 8-point filler, there may be slight swelling and bruising in the treated areas. However, this will pass within a few days. After the swelling subsides, a more noticeable improvement is observed in the facial features. Intense pressure should not be applied to the areas where the injection was made and excessively hot water should be avoided for a few days after the procedure.
When Are the Results Seen?
Immediately noticeable changes can be observed after the procedure. However, it may take up to 2-3 weeks for the full effect of the filler to be seen. During this period, the skin is allowed to fully accept the filler and the facial features to settle.
